What's hot:

JJJ knows Zendaya and Val Chmerkovskiy aren’t a couple, but if they were, they’d make the cutest little family ever!

The 17-year-old actress and her former Dancing With The Stars pro partner/friend headed to St. Mary’s Hospital in New York where they visited with the children during a break from Sway practices.

“Nothing better than this,” Val captioned with one of the cute photos he shared on Instagram.

Zendaya added, “This little nugget just crawled into my lap…#heartmelted thanks for having us @stmaryskidsNY @iamvalc”.

And some words on the aaliyah topic *again*Zendaya just could not be more awesome. She probably could, but as of this very moment, she’s the coolest person in our books.

The 17-year-old actress shared some wisdom on Instagram about the Aaliyah movie, why she dropped out and more.

“Let me just explain something. The reason why I chose not to do the Aaliyah movie had nothing to do with the haters or the people telling me I couldn’t do it, I wasn’t talented enough, or I wasn’t black enough. The main reasons were the production value wasn’t there, there were complications with the music rights, and I just felt like it wasn’t being handled delicately considering the situation,” Zendaya said.

She continued. “And I tried my best to reach out to the family on my own, and I wrote a letter, but I was unable to do so therefore I felt not morally OK with moving forward with the project. With all that being said, congratulations to the new woman playing Aaliyah. I only hope that she does not have to deal with half the hate I had to deal with. And remember that we are all human beings trying to do what we love to do. Let’s practice motivation and love, not discrimination and hate.”

In case you missed it, Alexandra Shipp was just announced as the new actress in the role.

COPIED AND PASTED:This is tea that was told to me by a friend in the business. This isn't first hand, so sip with that in mind....

Basically it's well known in the industry that Z.en. and V are together, and everyone is fine with it. Z and V's families are super close and the tea about them having a "marriage agreement" on here is true.

The minor issue kind of lies with the public's perception of Z. They feel the public very much sees her as a kid more than a young adult about to be 18 in less than two months.With that said they are working overtime to surely but subtlety "mature" her so that when Z and V do come "out' to the public it won't seem creepy. Ways they try to do this is by getting people to say how mature she is. An example of this is last month she was on the cover of R.olling O.ut magazine and they were quoted saying,

"When she’s in her zone, there’s nothing to suggest that she isn’t a 27-year-old trapped in the body of 17-year-old kid."

If you payattentiontothe way she has been dressing in the past few months, they're a little more mature than the previous year. They want the public to get used to the idea of them together but not before her 18th birthday.

Z's people, pr and parents, caught wind of some negative reactions to Z and V together and didn't want this relationship to ruin Z's image AT ALL so they are making sure the public is ready for it. Z and V are not taking as many selfies together like they use to or taking pictures together, even when they're in close proximity of each other for that reason.

They also try to "ship" her with other people to deter the public. They were trying( I don't know if they still are) to get Z and co-star in the movie Zapppppped ,S.Pencer B.Oldman (who is actually gay and sadly rumored to have been molested by higher ups or a director in the industry), to get together and cause some buzz. Don't know if that worked or not.

I know it's a little bit but that's all I got so hopefully you enjoyed it.Also if there is any grammar or spelling mistakes, sorry.

Eh IDK pretty sure Val was dating Jenna Johnson up until like a month ago.

I'm not one to be creeped out by age differences, to be fair I really don't give a fuck, and their families do seem super close but her dad has tweeted stuff like that it's gross people want to see his kid with a grown-ass man which, if what you're saying is true, kinda doesn't ring true with them trying to ease people up to the idea of them together.

I think they're super cute as friends but tbh if something of that kind happens between them I don't think they'll be public for a long while.

Well, having in mind that Mark Salling is 31 and he just announced that he's dating a 19 years old Disney/Nickelodeon actress maybe they are indeed a couple, but I won't believe it until we have confirmation of it (either through a statement after she turns 18 OR photographic/video evidence of them kissing or something)
